Umpton

So did a murderous bream.

And beat me to death from within.

The Burning Scotsman

There once was a Scotsman,
known for his fun,
He lit fires at parties
with the cheeks of his bum.
With some flint by his side
and a match up his arse,
He'd run through the halls
setting alight what he passed.
The men would cheer
and the lasses would swoon
As his smoking butt
brought mirth to the room.

I'd like to be a bear

O to be a bear
with long brown hair
Paws to catch fish
and fangs.

I'd like to be a shark

O to be a shark
Streamlined and grey,
Smiling at the fish
And biting seals.

Candlewax

I've got candlewax on my tonsils,
Candlewax in my teeth,
Candlewax on the roof of my mouth
makes it hard to breathe.

Maybe if I take a rope
And tie it 'round my tongue
Light it and I hope
It won't burn right through to my bum.

Edgehogs

Edgehogs live on the edge
They walk to the end of the garden
And sit upon the ledge.

My pinkie

Naples

I took a trip to Naples
With a butt full of staples
So much fun, I couldn't bear to leave
(They had magnets).
In May I swam to Chile
Got a snap frozen willy
So upset, when it came time to return
(I fell apart).
I once drove to Brisbane
with an inkling of wisdom
So keen, I soon was to depart
(There's stupid people
in Brisbane too).

Sometimes I eat wheat
But I prefer to eat bananas
Because I eat them with my feet.

He called himself Van Gogh
He changed colour to that of a pirahna
And then bit off his toe.

things crawling around in my tea,
I don't quite know what they are
but now they're crawling around in me

And it got infested with wood.

Carousel Worms

It didn't take me far
Just went around in circles
And left my stomach charred.
